I yelled out, my voice sounding very eerie in the cold air, "Alright, Troopers! Get your behinds in line and your minds in check! This is the day that will decide every day from now and forever. Got that, you silly wagging dogs?!" I looked sternly at the meister and weapon.

Black Star was rolling his eyes and Tusbaki was massively sweatdropping. She inquired timidly, "Ah, Yahmi-chan?"

I shouted, "Yes, girl?!"

She sighed helplessly, "That... could you, take this war, a teensy bit more... not serious?"

I glowered at her, "You two are my responsibility, so, therefore, you are my troops! I have let Maka and Soul go off in search for Crona and Marie-chan because I felt like it!"

"But...!"

"DO NOT CONTRADICT ME!!"

A vein popped out on Black Star's forehead and he screamed at me, "SHUT UP!!"

I retorted furiously, "WHY THE HELL WOULD I DO THAT?!"

"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO!!"

"'BECAUE YOU TOLD ME TO'?!?? WHAT KIND OF A LAME EXCUSE IS THAT???"

"BETTER THAN YOUR OWN EXCUSE!!"

"WHAT EXCUSE??!?"

"JUST SHUT UP!!"

"NO! I DUN WANNA!"

"ARE YOU ASKING FOR A FIGHT?!?!?"

"BRING IT ON, YOU STUPID BLUEBERRY!"

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING BLUEBERRY!"

"YOU!"

"ME?"

"YES, YOU! ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT?!"

"I AM NOT DEAF!"

"THEN HOW COME YOU CAN'T HEAR THE ENEMIES THAT ARE APPROACHING US RIGHT NOW WHILE WE ARE YELLING AT EACH OTHER AT TOP VOLUME?!?!?"

Black Star stopped yelling and looked at me, flabbergastered, "You can hear enemies through that din?!"

I raised and eyebrow and nodded, "Yah, and you might wanna duck." I said, rather calmly, hearing a bow string twang.

Black Star did as I told instantly, and the arrow headed straight for me. I shifted slightly to the side, and caught the arrow in mid-air.

Black Star jumped up, wide-eyed at the arrow in my hand. Tsubaki, who had stood there helplessly during the shouting match between me and her meister, now urged, "Black Star!"

He nodded, "Transform now, Tsubaki!" His weapon complied, and he caught the chained weapon. It was then that a whole bunch of cloaked figures wearing masks, came rushing for us, weapons in hand.

I stepped in front of Black Star. "Yahmi, what-" He started, but I interrupted, "You go on ahead, to the castle. I will meet you there shortly after I am done with these guys."

He hesitated for a moment longer, then turned and ran. I watched him, out of the corner of my eye, smash through the ranks of people effortlessly, whooping along the way.

I rolled my eyes, then spun around, facing my enemies. They all advanced cautiously, ignoring the other target that was speeding away. It seemed they chose me as the easier target. I muttered, "Fat chance." Then held out my hand, palm up. A red light shined in the middle of it, and began to grow bigger.

They stopped, stances wary. I said, loud enough for them to hear, "Your all fools! Sheesh, can't sense a fake when it's right in front of you!"

"What th-" One of them started to talk, but got elbowed by one of his fellows. The person who elbowed the other, pointed up to the sky in explaination. The one who spoke, looked up slowly, and, there was the real me, flapping her black, feathered wings. ^.^

The fake in the middle of the clearing surrouned by enemies, raised her glowing hand, the red light getting bigger by the second.

I looked down at the entire scenario. I shrugged, "They're doomed." The cloaked guy whom had first spoken, spoke again, in a partly annoyed voice, partly accepting, "Oh, shit."

And it all imploded with a Big Bang!

Black Star heard the explosion, but kept on running. Tsubaki heard it also, but she wasn't going to ignore it, "Black Star! What was that?"

He said grimly, "It was an explosion, exactly where Yahmi and the enemy were."

She said worriedly, "Aren't you going to go back for her?!"

Black Star shook his head, and only quickened his pace, "No. This is our mission. And, we know what Yahmi is. A Death Scythe."

"Indeed I am!" I suddenly dropped in beside Black Star, grinning like crazy, and began to run with him, matching his pace easily.

Tsubaki sighed in relief, "Yahmi! I'm glad your safe!"

Black Star only smiled.

Black Star and I were nearing the castle. The thing itslef looked pretty weird. If I knew Arachne, she always went for a weird taste, involving spiders (shiver).

I suddenly stopped running. The blue-haired kid didn't notice I had stopped, until her was about twenty metres away. He shouted back to me, not bothering to jog back, "What are you doing?! Hurry up!"

I just stayed where I was. I didn't look at him, rather at the top of the castle. I yelled back at him, "You go on! I'll fly up there!" I pointed to where I was looking. He glanced in that direction, then nodded.

He turned to go, and began running.I smiled softly, then muttered, "First Death." Black, feathered wings burst out of my back, and I quietly flew up to the building wall.

There were no windows, so I took the alternative option.

Boom! Hm, wasn't much of an explosion, was there? But I had to be silent, and I entered the hole in the wall swiftly.

I landed in a hallway. I started it walk into the darkness of the hallway quietly. Geez, how much eerier can this get...? In fact, is eerier a word? Eerier, eerier, eerier... now it just sounds weird... Weird! That was VERY weird... damn, need to stop saying weird so much! Oops! Theres the weird word again. Dang, how come I'm having this conversation inside my own head?! Weird...Damn, that word again... oh well, better get on... weird. SHUT UP, YAHMI! No, wait, why am I telling my weird self to shut up? That's just weird... Okay, shutting up! Weird...

I shook my head to clear the thoughts, which could even weird out Arachne! It had already weirded out Asura...

Now why the hell am I thinking about Asura?! I mean, he's not here. He's off somewhere, in some random place. Or he might be-

Whatever I was about to think next, was cut short. I suddenly emerged into a room. A medium sized one, that was shaped like a dome. Red light shone around, illuminating mechanical equipment that was on the roof, and on the floor. And in the middle of the room, was a nice bed. A king sized, and round. It had one of those drape things that hung above it.

And, lying in the bed, were Arachne and Asura.
